Progress Window

File box shows name of a file that WinSCP is currently working with.

Progress indicator shows approximately what part of the operation is already complete. The indicator is more accurate when calculation of total transfer size is enabled.

During transfer operation (upload or download) additional information is shown.

Target box shows target directory of the transfer (local for downloads, remote for uploads). For drag&drop downloads with disabled drag&drop shell extension, WinSCP has no knowledge about the destination directory. In such case the box will state “Temporary directory”.

Transfer mode box shows what transfer mode is used for file being transfered.

Resume box states whether it would be possible to resume transfer of current file in case it is interrupted.

Time left shows time estimated till operation end. If calculation of total transfer size is disabled, Start time will be shown instead. Time elapsed shows time elapsed since operation started.

Bytes transfered shows total number of bytes transfered in current operation.

CPS shows transfer speed in characters (bytes) per second.

The bottom progress indicator shows what part of the file was already transfered.

Check Disconnect when operation finishes to make WinSCP disconnect current session when the operation finishes. Note that this will also cancel any background transfers associated with current session. You can configure whether you want to close whole application along using confirmation option Exiting application on operation completion in preferences.

Use Minimize button to minimize WinSCP window to taskbar. You may be notified with ballon once the operation finishes.

Use Cancel button to cancel the operation. Note that with SCP protocol the transfer of file cannot be interrupted without closing whole session.

Use Speed to limit transfer speed. Available only for transfer operation. The limit is in KiB/s.
